4th Grade

Hello! I am a second year teacher here at Greenwood Elementary School. Last year, I taught 3rd Grade and this year I have looped up to 4th Grade. I received my Bachelors Degree in Elementary and Middle Level Education, with an emphasis in Math and Science K-8 from the University of Northern Iowa. In addition to my role as an educator, I also serve Greenwood as the facilitator of Student Council and am Communications Chairwoman. My favorite grades to teach are grades 4-7 and my favorite subject is Science! In my free time, I coach and am Recreational Assistant at Clive Parks and Recreation where I was born and raised!
